A 6* Singapore Open

well the report is quite confusing itself. reported on the straits times newspaper(our local newspaper) on saturday.british insurer aviva has announced a 3million sponsorship for the tournament until 2007.the move is likely to see the annual five star tournament upgraded to a six-star tournment boasting a minimum purse of us250,000 in 2007.ticek prices have also been cut as much as half from $15-$8.last year kids aged between 2-12 had to pay $10-12,this time they can watch for free.
